Allied Motion Technologies has introduced the SWS Steering Wheel Sensor, a compact steer-by-wire steering wheel feedback sensor designed specifically for warehouse vehicles like reach, counterbalance, and lift trucks. Steering wheels can be mounted directly to the SWS and connected to a CAN bus. Without the need for a mechanical connection, truck designers are free to […]
Rotary
User-programmable angle and speed sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. has introduced the IO-Link programming tool for its RFC-4800 Series of touchless angle sensors. This device connects a sensor to a mini USB port of a PC running Windows or newer operating system. IO-Link enables users to program, test and adjust custom offset values to null point, set direction of rotation as clockwise […]
Through hollow incremental encoders feature easy installation, accurate measurement
POSITAL has extended is portfolio of rotary encoders with a new family of through-hollow incremental encoders. These devices are designed to be installed with the machine shaft passing through the sensor. They can be used to monitor rotary motion in a wide variety of machinery, including servomotors, material handling equipment and printing presses, offering cost-effective, […]
Industrial and motorsport angle sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. announces three versions of the SP 2800 Series of rotary position sensors—industrial, redundant channel industrial and motorsport. The industrial version is offered in three standard electrical ranges: 0° to 100, 308 or 345° and custom ranges. It is sealed against dust, dirt and water ingress to IP 65 and repeatability is to ≤ 0.03°. […]
Heavy-duty redundant angle sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the RFX 6900 Series of touchless rotary sensors. These magnetic sensors are design for use in mobile, safety-related and extreme environment applications. Housing of the RFX 6900 Series is anodized aluminum and sealed to IP 67 or IP 69K—depending on version. Conforms to ISO 13849 for safety related applications. MTTF is 46 […]

Heavy-duty encoders for the most severe environmental conditions
Posital’s heavy-duty IXARC incremental and absolute rotary encoders are built to stand up to extreme environmental conditions. Based on a housing design with a 25-year track record of surviving the toughest conditions, these devices are suitable for marine vessels, off-shore facilities, mines, cranes, wind turbines and other challenging locations. These sensors feature extra rugged impact-resistant […]
New multi-turn sensors with a clutch
Novotechnik, U.S. has introduced the ML Series of Multi-Turn Rotary Sensors. These sensors feature a unique friction clutch instead of the end-stops typically found on mechanical multi-turn sensors. The clutch produces a click sound to let users know they have reached end-of-range and it permits continued turn past end-scale. Compare this feature to a device […]
Precision magnetic encoders now available with CANopen interface
POSITAL’s IXARC high-precision magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with CANopen interfaces. These new interface option is in addition to the previously announced SSI, EtherNet/IP, EtherCat, Powerlink, Profbus DP and Profinet interfaces. Together, this range of interface choices makes the rugged and compact IXARC encoders one of the most versatile devices of its type […]
Non-contact rotary position sensor for on-, off-highway vehicles
Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has announced the launch of the NRH27C, a non-contact rotary position sensor which is suitable for use on specialty on- and off-highway vehicles using CANbus communications. Developed by Curtiss-Wright’s legacy brand of Penny & Giles, the NRH27C extends the company’s recently-introduced NRH271 and NRH272 family and shares many similar features and benefits. These […]
